Little Dresses for Africa
 

Anyone making these?

Do you have a link?

Our sewing group did that a couple of years ago. Try Nancy's Notions for info.

Some people in one of the local guilds were making them a couple of years ago. So cute! Minimal sewing required, and they also made shorts for the boys.

Yes can find on Nancy's Notions.

I am asking as I may have some supplies to give to a group making them.

Our circle sent 36 to Guatemala and 56 to Haiti this summer. They were made by 4 women. Oh yeah we also sent a bunch of little boy shorts I did not get the number for them. Also none of the dresses were plain they were embroidered or finished with a trim of some kind.

I have done these in the past for a local church. It is a good project. Every little girl deserves a pretty dress. I made them colorful and added rick-rack or lace.

I made 150 of them 2 years ago. Soon after the Haiti earthquake. I sent them o the little girls group in MI and they distributed them where needed. I serged a rolled hem around the bottom. That saved a lot of time!

our church is just starting a project of making these...have many people already signed up to help.
